Hmm, your requirements look more and more like a... database? :)

I know. The only catch is that the last time I brought up databases it turned
into a big discussion, where I got the following (paraphrased) opinions:
1. MySQL rules -- BDB sucks!
2. It'll be a cold day in %$#@ before SQL is included in the base system --
even SQL-Lite.
3. BDB isn't non-atomic and not stable.
Unless something more constructive is going to be discussed, I'm not going to
pursue that semi-bikeshed topic again.

The other problem is that using a database technology in place of flat text
files will force less intelligent tools without access to lower level DB
manipulation APIs (portmaster for instance) to depend on other apps to do the
data store translation legwork for them.
But maybe that isn't a bad idea?
